Buying guide
For a baby's first week home, pick double-layer muslin cotton pieces that are soft from the first wear, with flat seams and simple designs you can get on and off quickly between naps and nappy changes. Epic's muslin onesies, pajamas, and a soft muslin towel for bath time cover those early days without extra fuss.

The first week home is mostly nappy changes, feeds, and naps, not fashion. We look for muslin pieces that are already soft out of the box and simple enough to put on a baby who is not in the mood to cooperate. A few good basics make that week go smoother than it has to.
A simple double-layer onesie for everyday wear, pre-washed soft and quick to get on and off during round-the-clock changes.
The same soft double-layer muslin with a little frill detail, nice for the days visitors come by to meet the baby.
A one-piece romper that works for short outings or photos once you are both ready to leave the house.
Loose, breathable pajamas for the long stretches of newborn sleep that fill most of the first week.
A soft double-layer muslin towel to wrap a newborn right after a bath, during a week full of them.
No. They arrive pre-washed, so they are already soft and ready to use, though muslin keeps softening with every wash after that.
Plan for a few changes a day between spit-up, leaks, and naps, so a handful of onesies and pajamas on rotation covers it.
